MFMailComposeViewController: toRecepients Methods Not Working Properly

Question

I have created a simple email sender using MFMailComposeViewController. I programmed it such a way that people will have a textField to fill up a mail address before MFMailComposeViewController is called.

When I tried to pass the content of the text field in to the

NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:receipient];

method (recipient is a NSString), somehow, when the MFMailComposViewController is presented, it always gives

Error:"Is not a valid email address"

and leaves the Recipient part empty.

If I change

NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:receipient];

to

NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"support@app.com"];

where I entered the address manually, it will work properly.

Anyone knows how do I do such that I can pass in an NSString variable without getting the invalid error?

PS:I did email validation, i have printed out the text as well to double check, the NSString is indeed "support@app.com", the same thing as i manually entered, but it just doesn't work.

For those who have tried MessageUI, please help to double check if i am making any silly mistakes

Thanks

Regards

please dont add one or two lines of code. Add how you are calling the mail composer and when you are accessign the text field text — Teja Nandamuri, Oct 08 '15 at 12:29
when are you calling the mail composer ? Right after you enter the text ? or do you call it on abutton click? — Teja Nandamuri, Oct 08 '15 at 12:39

Your code is just fine. Try using arrayWIthObjects instead of arraywithObject:

  NSString *recipient =textField.text;
   NSArray *recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:recipient, nil];

Use nil, after the recipient, and see if it works or not.
